When the reporters saw Caston approach the podium, they marveled.
Everyone knew that Caston was not a simple person because his reputation was well known in the entertainment industry.
They started to anticipate that a good show was about to unfold.
Even Rael, who saw Caston walk the podium was shocked.
An uneasy feeling settled in her heart.
She had heard of the Caston the miracles he had made both in the entertainment industry and business world.
He was like a god of public relation and no one dared to go up against him.
Everyone respected him because in their eyes, he deserved the respect.
The confidence Rael had a moment ago started to go down.
The reporters were excited as they looked forward to what Caston would do to turn the situation around.
"The reporters present, my name is Caston and I'm here on behalf of Miss Lavender Stone to help clear her name."
"I have been in this industry for a long
It was only after Lavender stood up that the reporters came back to their senses.They rushed over to her with their microphones pointing in her direction."Miss Lavender, can you say something?""Miss Lavender, why did not say something when you were being slandered?""Miss Lavender, what are you going to do about the Smith family?"The media asked one question after another.Lavender looked at them with a disdainful smile.Why are they acting as if they cared about her now?They had shamed her, said all the malicious things about her! Now they were acting as if they couldn't wait to get justice for her.Seeing her disdainful smile, the reporters were embarrassed. They knew that they had gone too far with their slandering.There cheeks were hurting too much from the tight slap they have received just now.But for the sake of headlines, they had to be thick skinned and at least interview Lavender.
After the press conference, Rael slumped on the sofa, dumbfounded.Her clothes were already drenched from the cold sweat. Her heart was pounding hard from nervousness as if it could stop anytime.The scheme she had thought was perfect has been turned around just by a few sentence from Caston.She had thought that she was already a winner in this fiasco. She had thought that Lavender was a push over who could just surrender at any pressure.How the hell did she manage to think so much just in a short period of time?Who was helping her behind the scenes?Rael's head felt as if it was going to burst.Jeffrey too, who had already been discharged from the hospital, looked at the television, dumbfounded.What the hell was going on? Hadn't Rael said that nothing would go wrong?Remembering how he had killed three people when he was drunk driving, Jeffrey shuddered.He had thought that he has escaped punishme
With the help of her part time cook, Lavender prepared a scrumptious dinner. Lavender, Robert, Newton, Mr Stone and the children sat on the round table to have dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious as the family ate in silence. Whitney and Ian had been brought up with an aristocratic upbringing. They carried themselves with dignity even during their meal and made very little sound. Lavender on the hand didn't like talking while she ate and Reagan had learnt from her. The sound that could be heard was just the sound of chopsticks against the ceramic plates. Lavender ate as she served her three kids while Robert served her from time to time. The family of five was in sync and you couldn't even tell that they have been separated for a whole seven years. Mr Stone and Newton looked at their interaction and smiled secretly to themselves. Whitney looked at her mother serving her and felt emotional.
After being stuck in the traffic for a while, they arrived at Lavender's apartment.Ian and Whitney had already been sent home by the bodyguards so Robert had no reason of leaving. He was happy that his kids were very considerate of his feelings.The moment Lavender entered the house, she immediately went to wash up.Although she had done next to nothing at the press conference, she was mentally tired.All she needed now was a warm bath and a good sleep.Robert seated himself in the living room as he looked through his work emails. Today because of Lavender's press conference, he had not turned up at the company and left everything for the vice president to take care of it.Despite that, there were some things that he had to personally take care of that is why he had told Liam to bring him the important documents.After a while, Lavender called him up. She was done washing up and she was calling him to go and have a bath too.
Robert entered Lavender's study room to look at the documents that Liam had dropped off.After physically satisfying himself, his mind was more clear and even his work efficency improved.After signing a few documents, he remembered that he had not heard anything from the police station.Weren't they supposed to arrest the Smiths and that bastard doctor.He took out his phone and called Liam."What is going on with the Smith family and that stupid doctor?" Robert asked."The lady boss sent me a text and instructed me not to send the police. She said that she had her own plans." Liam said."Ooh…""Yeah. However, she didn't tell me what her plan was so I could only wait and see.""Okay. Be on the look out. Don't let anything happen." Robert ordered."Yes boss."After the phone call, Robert concentrated on his work again.He read the documents and signed his name, feeling happy everytime he
The following morning, Lavender was wakened by something heavy pressing down on her. What was that so heavy early in the morning? She opened her eyes only to find that Robert was already on top of her indulging himself so much that he did not even notice that she was awake. 'Is this man normal?' Lavender thought. She was still so tired from what they did last night but this man was still so full of energy? "Hey, are you done?" Lavender asked in a rapsy voice. She has just woken up and her voice was slightly hoarse. Her voice brought Robert back to his senses. He leaned over his head and started kissing her. Lavender tried resisting but it was to no avail. Robert was like an insatiable beast who hadn't seen meat for a thousand centuries. Lavender even started to feel sorry for her future life. If it will be like this every day, would she be able to go to work? By the time they finished, Lavender was
Lavender did not pay attention to the Smith family after they were arrested. She did not even appear in court during the trial.She spent most of her time bonding with her kids.It was on a weekend and seeing that the weather was good, Robert and Lavender decided to take their kids out for picnic.Whitney and Reagan were excited to go out. Although Ian was excited too, he did not overly show it on his face but his expression was delighted."Our son seems to be somehow special." Lavender said as she looked at her son not too far away."He matured earlier than kids had age. He always acts like a grumpy old man." Robert said."Hey, that is your son you are talking about. How could you say that he acts like a grumpy old man?" Lavender immediately asked. She was displeased at how Robert was regarding her son."Sorry my queen, it was my fault." Robert immediately apologized.But the light in his eyes clearly indicated that he d
It's been one month since the scandal with the Smith family and Dr Stanley passed. Dr Stanley was sentence to fifteen years in prison because he operated on a patient who had already recovered and slandered his fellow doctor. His wife divorced him and took all of his assets thus leaving him with nothing. Rael on the other had been sentenced to seven years in prison. Although her crime of slandering someone was light, she had helped the doctor to carry out his medical malpractice. Jeffrey did not have it any better. His sentence was the heaviest. He was drunk driving when he involved himself in the road accident. He took three lives and other victims were still nursing their injuries in the hospital. Although he knew that he made a mistake, he tried to shift the blame to someone else.. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison without parole. Lavender considered that chapter closed as she concentrated on taking care

At the abandoned house, Emma was pacing back and forth as she looked at her watch."Is this man trying to test my patience?" Emma asked her father."Relax. He won't let his daughter die no matter what. Remember we gave him the coordinates for the longest route. Maybe he is still stuck on the heavy terrain of road leading here.""I haven't heard from Cindy. Why don't you call her and ask her whether she had already dealt with Lavender?”“I will call her right away." Emma said and dialed Cindy's number. The phone did not go through. She even dialed her dad's men that were protecting Cindy but it did not go through too."Dad something is wrong." Emma said. "None of the phones are going through." She added.Although Lion also felt that something was wrong, he did not think too much about it. The only thing that he cared about was her daughter to get her revenge."Call the other people and tell them to bring that little bastard over." "Their phones are not going through too."Just as Lion
"Just tell me where my brother and sister are and whether they are fine.""I will go make a call." The one who seemed as the little leader immediately left to make the call.He had been confused by the little boy's speech that his mind was blank.Were they really messing with the wrong guy? They were not from the city so they had not heard much about the Houston family and the ruthless heir.They were just a small gang that lived on the street. They depended on small jobs and theft for survival. Lion had found them and seeing how skilled he was they had decided to follow him. They actually believed in bullying the weak and fearing the strong notion.So, when he told them that he had a mission for them and that they will earn big, they readily agreed. The man stopped thinking about it and dialed his boss number. He can't let that little boy scare him.……In the car….Robert heard his phone beep and looked at it. After he saw the content of the of the text, he could not help but smile.
"You make it sound so simple." "Don't worry darling I won't let anything happen to our kids." "I trust you.""Why don't you do me a favor, leave this to me and let me take care of it. I promise that nothing will happen." "No that won't do. Even if we are going to ambush them, we can't give them a chance to retaliate. Since Emma and Cindy managed to pull off something like that, it can only mean one thing….""They have someone powerful helping them from the sidelines." Robert finished the statement for her."Yes. Since we don't know how powerful the enemy is, we can only play along with them." Lavender said. She would never take the life of her children and her friend lightly."So darling just let me go with you. Me staying at home while knowing that my kids are in danger is a real torture. I promise that I will look after myself." Lavender said."Okay. Grab some thick coats for you and the kids. They might be a cold by now."…..In the abandoned house….Lion was looking at Whitney
The car the Cindy was in was moving at a very high speed. Although the roads were bumpy and they almost rolled over a few times, Stella and the kids were still unconscious.Seems like that drug was really strong."Miss, why did you kidnap the woman too? You know that boss doesn't like it when someone goes against his orders." The man who was driving asked."That is none of your business. You should concentrate on driving. I will take care of the rest." Cindy said. As long she got what she wanted, she did not give a hoot about anyone.The driver shut up and the two other guys did not say anything as they watched the kids carefully.….Back at Lavender's place, the police had already arrived at the place and after checking everyone they realized that the suspect must have gone with children.And there was only one suspicious person missing among the guest and that was the kids’ Arts teacher."Why would miss Yolanda want to kidnap her own students?" Lavender asked with obvious doubt.It
The party began at five thirty o'clock in the evening. Since it was just for kids there were not a lot of formal talking. People were just socializing and making connections. Cindy who had already blended in as the kids’ Arts teacher looked on as people enjoyed themselves with disdain.Everyone here only cared about their benefits and whether they will leave an impression on the Houston family. After all the entire power of the Houston family lied in the hands of Robert and Lavender was also an internationally renowned doctor who had won major awards because of her medical papers.People just wanted to suck up to them so that they could have it easy in both the medical and business field."I think I now understand why you insisted of planning everything on your own." Stella said. She was hugging a man's hand and Lavender was happy to see them together. "You two look good together." She said with a smile."If you had not insisted on pairing us together, we would have missed out on ea
The long-awaited birthday party soon arrived. Although their exact born date was on a weekday, the party was held over the weekend since the kids had to go to school and their parents had to go to work during the week.Lavender had bought a much bigger villa and it was just right for the party since it was being held in the big yard of the private villa.She had refused to move to Robert's villa, although it held a lot of memories for the both of them, she did not want to remember her pitiful, painful past."Hurray it is finally the weekend and I am super excited." Whitney said to the boys."Yeah me too. I never thought that this day will ever come." Reagan said."How did you celebrate your birthdays with mummy?" Whitney asked curiously. Since they were just the two of them, did her mother also throw such a huge birthday party for her brother just like their father did every other year?"Mum will always buy three cakes. Every time I asked her why she would buy three cakes she always s
Three months passed by in flash since the engagement party and since Cindy’s disappearance.Robert had not wanted to involve himself at the start but seeing how battered Derrick looked, he decided to give a helping hand.But even with his resources, they did not manage to find her. The young spoilt mistress seemed to have vanished into thin air.There were no records of her leaving the country nor was there a corpse to prove that she had died. They had even contacted the police but they had not received any news of suicide or murder. Robert could only give up at this moment."You should stop stressing over her. She is all grown up and I am sure that whenever she is, she is safe." Robert said to Derrick. "I can't help but blame myself. All of these is my fault. If I had not spoilt her rotten, she wouldn't have turned out like that." "All of us loved her and spoilt her so we have to share the responsibility. But that does not mean that we should live in guilty for the rest of our live
Chapter 136 "What is wrong with her?" Derrick asked feeling uncomfortable from all the touching. He was shocked that he was actually having a reaction and hastily pushed Cindy away. Cindy moaned and was on the verge of undoing the zip on her dress.The smell of the male hormone was too much for her that she just wanted to grab whoever it was and eat him up."She is drugged so she needs a man to find relief." Robert said with less concern.Derrick and Lavender were shocked. Lavender was a doctor so she immediately knew what kind of drug Cindy had taken."How did she get drugged? Uncle…… you? Derrick looked at Robert in disbelief. "I am not the one who added the aphrodisiac in her wine glass, she did that to herself. I am just giving her a taste of her own medicine." Robert said."What has my sister done?" Derrick asked. He was in so much shock that he did not even know what to think."She wanted to drug my wife and you and lock you in one room so that she can embarrass my wife in fro
